Abstract:
We describe a case of RAS-associated autoimmune leukoproliferative disease with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD)-like symptoms, such as recurrent pneumonia, sinusitis, and otitis media, that occurred 7 years after hematopoietic cell transplantation. Whole-exome sequencing revealed a heterozygous CFAP43 nonsense variant. Environmental factors related to hematopoietic cell transplantation may have led to PCD symptoms in this patient with this variant. Genetic screening can help avoid subsequent complications during patient management.

Symptoms of COPD can be classified as primary or systemic. Primary symptoms relate to reduced airflow, while systemic or extrapulmonary symptoms relate to COPD's broader impact on the body.

Cystic Fibrosis: Pathogenesis
CF is primarily caused by a genetic mutation in a chromosome 7 gene coding for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. The most common gene mutation leading to CF is the ΔF508 mutation,...
